Does anyone know of a custom gumaker who makes a 600ne? looking for bolt or single shot 600 ne for under 5k. Thanks

I don't think you'll find the 600NE in a bolt. You can get a double for about double your 5K from Searcy. Happy Holidays

msorenso,

Ahhhh the .600 Nitro Express. Get one for under $5,000.00, I don't think so but a bolt action is. Go to http://www.gunsamerica.com/guns/976525690.htm and take a look at the one offered at Guns America. Lawdog

Lawdog - No Thank You Sir !! :shock: That sucker looks like it would hurt your shoulder before you even pulled the trigger! Like Dad says, that thing will kill at both ends!

Would you consider a .577 Nitro Express? How abot a .600 JDJ? (.577 Nitro blown out for .600 bullet)? I think these guys can do up one of these for less than 5 grand.

Hey Thanks for all the info. I thinking of having a 600Ne made from a ruger 1 . I will have to give ssk a call. :grin:

What does JDJ stand for?

hubel458 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2005, 05:04:44 PM »

Stands for "J.D. Jones" the owner of SSK.
As far as getting a #1 in 600 NE, the case is
considered by many, including me, to
too big in diameter for safety, so JD took a 577NE case and straightened it out to hold 600 bullet
and he puts them in #1s. Still gets about same
velocity levels as 600 NE.Ed.

msorenso · « **Reply #8 on:** February 02, 2005, 03:07:01 AM »

So what caliber would you shoot? brass that they have necked out to 600. I know this is a dumb question but I take it 600 jdj is still smaller in circumference than a 600 ne. thanks for all the info!

hubel458 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2005, 05:04:02 AM »

msorenso- The case body of the 600 JDJ is a little
smaller than 600NE, but bullet diameter is the same.
Yes in a #1, the 600 JDJ is one to use, but not only
one.The 600 OK that a bunch of guys on AR
developed would work also, giving the same or more power. It is a belted straight case, whereas the
600JDJ,600NE,577NE are rimmed straight cases.Ed

msorenso · « **Reply #10 on:** February 02, 2005, 05:57:29 AM »

Who makes ammo for the 600 jdj or would or would it be buying the brass from ssk then hand load? Thanks again for being so helpful!

hubel458 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2005, 06:22:06 AM »

You can get it from SSK and handload. If you have dies then you can also get expanders an use
577 brass also,
and still reload.As long as you have the equipment.
If you don't reload they have loads.But it is way
cheaper to do your own.Ed.

msorenso · « **Reply #12 on:** February 02, 2005, 09:27:23 AM »

I want to get into reloading. I would like one to reload my rem ultra mags and any nitros or 50 cal I may be shooting. I want a good one, what would you suggest?

Thanks

hubel458 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 02, 2005, 11:33:22 AM »

RCBS Ammomaster is great for big cases.Ed

hubel458 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2005, 06:30:01 PM »

MP--Yes we will need bullets, and no big hurry, still
saving pennies to get action for my 700HE barrel.
Lets us know on all the sites when your ready to
go.

Msoreso--Another great thing about ammomaster is you can get different threaded top plates. We even
enlarged thread on one to handle 2 inch dies.Ed

msorenso · « **Reply #15 on:** February 09, 2005, 01:25:25 AM »

Who is doing you barrel for you on the 700 he? Is it a new barrel or a reworked 50 cal? Thanks

hubel458 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 09, 2005, 05:49:29 AM »

msorenso--It is a PacNor .700 caliber, all profiled and ready to thread for action we get.WE have it
now.Ed

msorenso · « **Reply #17 on:** February 09, 2005, 06:07:51 AM »

I think what I will do is purchase one from state arms and get a second barrel in 700 which I can use both. This will be sweet!

msorenso · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2005, 06:15:09 AM »

One last thing
What is te cost of the barrel ?

hubel458 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2005, 06:33:38 AM »

It cost $305 plus shipping. It is 34" long.
I think 30" and shorter is $275.Ed.

Hey guys I'm new here and I like big bore rifles. I would like to join in with all of you and talk big bores.
As for the Ruger #1, I to have heard that its action is not large enough for the 600NE. I may agree, but on the other hand I will have to say I have a 600NE on the #1.

msorenso · « **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2005, 03:19:18 AM »

Have you had any problems with a 600 NE in a #1?

msorenso · « **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2005, 03:22:22 AM »

Thanks for the Welcome. Recoil, out of a 11# rifle its a handful. I have not shot this rifle all that much. I wonder if the action is large enough. But no I haven't had any trouble with it. I also don't know if there is another one out there to compare notes with.

msorenso · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2005, 12:47:11 PM »

Who, if you don't mind did the work for this gun??

Rscout6945 · « **Reply #25 on:** February 15, 2005, 10:20:58 PM »

msorenso · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2005, 02:55:47 AM »

Jerrys Sports owned a gun shop called Simmons Gun which is known for the simmons vent rib for shotguns, and the shop foremans name was Keith. He built the rifle for himself and I acquired it from him some time later. The shop has been sold and Keith is no longer there. I do still have contact with him. I dont know if he would built another one or not? I need to learn how to post pictures and show you the rifle. Have you heard of Claton Nelson? from Colorado, he builts large bore rifles, but the price is above what you are wanting to pay. In fact, thats how I got the #1, Keith was having Claton build a 600 for him and he needed the money for the new one. I came out looking pretty good on that deal!! Hope this helps
